Orlando Family Law Attorney I got a New Job How do I Relocate With My Child

You got a great job but it’s 100 miles away. What happens when you want to relocate with your child? I’m Steve Kramer and I’m a Florida family law and divorce attorney. And this is a situation that does come up. Anytime that you want to relocate with your child and it’s more than 50 miles away from the court, you’re going to have to file a petition with the court. And this is the case even if you and your spouse agree to the relocation. You’ve still got to put it before the court.

And this petition is going to.

Be just like a modification of child support, just like your divorce in some ways meaning that there’s going to be a final hearing on it. You are going to get ordered to meditation. And the court is going to be looking to the best interest for the children. And part of what the court is looking at is the move going to still allow for contact between your spouse â€“ or your exspouse â€“ and child? Is the child still going to see Mom or Dad? How’s it going to impact you and your ex financially? Is it going to be affordable? And if there’s going to be visitation arrangements how’s it going to be paid for? Who’s going to pay for it? And how’s it going to be afforded. And outside of that, it’s a good thing if.

Your spouse is agreeable. That’s great. You can sign off on the agreement, you can submit a parenting plan to the court, and basically it’s a formality to get it signed off on as long as it’s not clearly against the best interest of the child. But you’re going to have to put this before the court. The court is going to have to sign off on it and that’s how it’s going to have to be done. Why am I telling you this?
